I really like to stay in this area when I travel to DC for business, and this time I decided to return to the River Inn where I had stayed before. Location is unbeatable, one of the best areas in town. Staff is helpful and always smiling, very friendly. Something that imho could be improved are the room bathrooms - mine had a low bathtub shower design that is slippery when showering and not comfortable at all - old style knobs to operate the water, difficult to mix, you will have move around on the slippery surface etc. If the bathrooms could be renovated the overall quality and value for money of this hotel would go up several notches.
